In an episode of comedian Kevin Hart’s “Hart to Heart” series, the “American Gangster” artist sat down for an intimate conversation, where he addressed the persistent retirement rumors that have been circulating online. When Hart asked, “Are you retired?” the beloved artist replied, “No. Uhm… I tried that, I was really bad.”
The entrepreneur talked about his notable retirement in 2003 when he threw a huge farewell party at Madison Square Garden. However, it didn’t take long for the music industry to call him back.
Collaborating with various artists and fueled by his passion, Jay-Z made a triumphant return to the music scene with his 2006 album, “Kingdom Come.” Reflecting on his choice to step down, he shared his reasons, saying:
“I really burned out at that time. I put out an album every year — ’96, ’97, ’98. And then in between, the soundtrack, other people’s albums, Roc-A-Fella, back-to-back tours.”
He further explained, “And you know, I just looked up one day, and I was like, ‘I’m tired.’ I never took a vacation until, like, I want to say 2000. Like, my entire life. And I was really exhausted at that time.”
The Brooklyn native emphatically stated that he is not retiring from the music scene because he considers music a gift and believes it would be unfair to shut it down completely.
When reflecting on the future, the “Empire State of Mind” rapper expressed his openness to different possibilities, stating, “It’s open to anything. It may have different forms, different interpretations. Maybe it’s not an album. Maybe so. I don’t know, but I’ll just leave it open.”
